Full Description

This part of the IEC 60794 series defines the test procedure to examine the attenuation behaviour (change in attenuation) when an optical fibre cable with cable elements fixed at both ends is subjected to temperature cycling. This test assesses the attenuation behaviour of a cable under a no-end movement condition intended for termination with, for example, interconnecting devices or passive components.

NOTE IEC 60794-1-2011 (method F1) is a general temperature cycling test for cables.
